Hello,
hmm. I can't get it to work. Below I copied an excerpt from
exportPdf.ini and the corresponding part from the template. Now, the
initial content defined in the ini file for the blocks "title" and
"note" are displayed in the corresponding form fields, but the fields
for "noteA" and "noteB" are empty. Further, any text typed into the
input fields for "title" or "note" appears on the generated pdf, but the
text typed into the fields "pdfNoteA" and "pdfNoteB" is ignored.
Instead, the generated blocks for noteA and noteB contain the strings
defined in the ini file. If I add {if $pdfNoteA}{/if} resp. {if
$pdfNoteB}{/if} around the corresponding parts of the template, the
input fields aren't displayed at all.
Although, I did some debugging of the ClientExportPdf class, I could not
find out, why the blocks are not handled correctly. My best guess would
be the fact that the two additional fields ('noteA' and 'noteB') are not
added to the $optionalInputs field. The drawUserForm() function on the
other hand only assigns fields that are defined in $optionalInputs to
smarty-variables. Maybe, other functions depend on it too.
Regards,
Dirk

Hello,
add the new inputs into the HTML template just as it's done for
pdfTitle and pdfNote (see exportPdf/templates/form.tpl).
The naming convention for the new form inputs is:
- capitalize the first letter of the field name
- add the prefix "pdf" in front of it
For instance:
title => pdfTitle
note => pdfNote
foobar => pdfFoobar

Hello,
in addition to the title and note, I would like to add three fields
to an exported pdf. The user shall be able to type in the text that
shall appear via the GUI. I managed to add the fields to the pdf by
adding them to the general.activatedBlocks in exportPdf.ini. But how
do I link them to the GUI, i.e. how do I reference them within the
template?
Kind regards,
Dirk
